The best fast attack is the triple shot at close range. The archer has this attack and is unlocked in the beginning of the game. The best slow attack is the three hands technique which can kill a dragon in two uses. The next best slow attack in the triple fireball, but only when used in close range.

Demon Is what I found to be the most effective character, with the ability to fly and fire breath, you can reach the end faster, and 1 shot all weak enemies. I never really used bosses, because despite having high health, the location their attacks come from made them ineffective in close range combat.

Advice, just pick a character you like and stick with it. I used archer the whole time, perfect for easy dragon kills, stand on block and spam Z. No damage on all 4 dragons.

Look at that! You just hatched a Dragon! Isn't that cool?
Birdman Tribe Leader.
Are you sure? That's Bahamut, 110 health! That's so cool!
Birdman Tribe Leader.
Branch out, he's not even that good, try something new!
BIRDMAN TRIBE LEADER.

Get a Beholder or an Angel and fly through levels so you can complete them faster. Then when you see a boss, just use their 2 damage skills(the one that reloads fast) to kill the bosses.

Guide for starting: while many skills can be used, best characters for doing the levels are flying, for combat good skills are Cure Wounds (used after battle to self-recover), summons, Magic Missile (ranged spam that rebounds off walls), any melee attacks that can be spammed. Magic Jump is useful too if you dont have flying.
So, at beginning you can stick to Holy Guard or Necromancer. Then try to find and unlock Gremlin Priest, as all his skills are useful. It seems that having Magic Jump or Fly unlocks special level with Cuccos who can fly. Flying allows to speedrun levels and also gives access to some higher areas which have special characters. In my opinion, best characters are Angel (flying, Magic Missile + Stab, unfortunately I don't remember where I found him) and Wind Dragon (flying, can summon while staying in the air, unlocked by defeating him in battle then hatching blue egg and getting kills with blue wurmling/drake)

@LordTim So...I sort of found an exploit by mistake. If you go to the character select, and then QUICKLY press an arrow key IMMEDIATELY after you press x, so that it selects an empty space, you will spawn as a locked character, and, if you clear the level with it, it will unlock as if you had shapeshifted or had your mind stolen by a Brain Sucker/Mind Flayer and cleared the level. I unlocked the Sand Scorpion and the Manticore with this exploit, both by accident. Might want to patch this.

Were it not for their lack of special movement methods (Flight, magic jump, etc.), the Knights would honestly be my favourite characters. They're very well-rounded.
